The Psychology Program at Penn State Behrend has an opening for a full-time, tenure-line, Assistant Professor beginning August 2022. We are seeking a colleague who envisions a career where both teaching and research are equally valued.

An earned doctorate in clinical or counseling psychology, or a related field, and licensure or license eligibility in Pennsylvania are required by appointment date. The successful candidate will: • Teach clinical and general undergraduate psychology courses, graduate clinical courses, and courses in the candidate’s area of expertise. • Supervise graduate internships and research. • Maintain an active research agenda that engages undergraduate students. • Advise students and provide service to the school, college, and University. The Psychology program offers both a BA and a BS in psychology and an MA in Applied Clinical Psychology. It has laboratory space, including a sound attenuating chamber, individual testing rooms, small group rooms, and observation rooms. Other resources include an on-campus childcare center and affiliation with the Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Community Outreach, Research, and Evaluation. Technology and inter-library loan resources are excellent; internal funds are available for scholarly activity. Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, is an undergraduate and graduate college of The Pennsylvania State University. Situated on a beautiful, wooded 854-acre hillside campus recognized as a U.S. arboretum, we have four academic schools (Business; Engineering; Humanities and Social Sciences; and, Science); student residential living; a range of research programs and outreach centers; and a highly successful business and technology park. With 5,000 students in resident instruction and online in college programs offered through Penn State World Campus, we uniquely blend the atmosphere and focus on teaching of a small college with access to the academic, research, and professional development resources of a Big 10, R1 University. Our college is an open laboratory of learning and discovery where students gain real-life experience engaging with business, industry, and community partners. We seek faculty members who share our commitment to both teaching and scholarship, to the holistic development of students, and to principles of respect, diversity, and inclusiveness.
